This weekend is the 3rd Lighthouse International Film Festival. Four of us from OrangeYouGlad (proud sponsors of the film festival) are heading down for a weekend of great films, wonderful folks, sun, and of course, tasty beverages! Be sure to say “hi” to us if you attend the festival!

The 2010 WPBT Winter Gathering kicks off tomorrow – I’m looking forward to hanging out with this fun group of folks, most of whom I haven’t seen in over a year or more. One of the traditions of the big tournament is to have a bounty to give to the person who busts you from the tournament. My goal on Saturday is to collect as many bounties as I can and not ever give mine away. But in case someone does bust me, here’s what they will get:

Each year my company does a Halloween promotion for our clients. This year we decided to make our own deck of cards with custom illustrations and a hand-crafted letterpressed box. I thought this would be an appropriate bounty item.

And of course, what bounty from me would be complete without something bacony?

And a nifty little “luck” sack to carry them in.

You can visit the New York City Marble Cemetery today and tomorrow through openhousenewyork weekend.

openhousenewyork offers visits to a myriad of New York’s architectural gems. I highly recommend taking advantage of the open house weekend.

Needless to say, I think her paintings are quite wonderful so stop by to check them out.

Check out the film festival schedule.

Then I saw this and had to include it here. Hahaha. Love it!

Enjoy this threesome of birthday songs. And Ms. Summers, I insist that you listen to each one.

The first birthday song to get you started is from Röyskopp.

The second birthday song is from The Birthday Party. I know that Dawn is a Nick Cave fan so she should enjoy this one. ; )

The third birthday song is from Altered Images. Whenever I think of birthday songs, this one always pops into my head, even before The Beatles and Sugarcubes.

I considered using The Smith’s Unhappy Birthday but Dawn would really think that I hate her if I had included it in the threesome.

- and if you live in the Washington DC area, be sure to pick up some yummy cupcakes from Hello Cupcake and more importantly, if you are a nice person, send some to Brooklyn!

And if you are in NYC and looking for something to do this holiday weekend, check out the nycgo.com site.

Once again OrangeYouGlad did the poster, website and program guide for the festival.

Check out some of the films you can see this weekend.
